Lesbian teen back at Miss. school after prom flap

No, not as a married couple.
You wouldn't travel either, if your marriage was not recognized in other states.
Suppose you got in a car accident in Mississippi, and your wife was terminally injured and placed on life support, and you weren't even allowed to see her in the ICU, let alone participate in end of life choices.

When you have children together, it becomes even more complicated than that.

Yeah the poor kids have to suffer.........
 
You sure seem to have a lot of, ah, insider information about the Gay Agenda there, Navy.

:roll:

I always try to keep up with what the other side is doing....You don't do bad yourself........
 
You're right, that would be the school's code of conduct. Did she ask for a rules change there also?

I hate to break it to you, Jerry, but if the school's code of conduct is in violation of federal laws (Title 9, for one), the school's code of conduct is illegal. NOT the student's request. ;)
 
And the straight agenda, I presume, is to prevent this and to ensure that gays remain second-class citizens in the eyes of the law.

You know, I think I like the gay agenda better.

Well you can always switch sides............;)

LOL Sexual orientation is NOT covered in Title 9.

Nice try.

Lat time I looked title 9 had to do with women in sports...:confused:

Quite an extreme example.

So they CAN travel anywhere they choose and their marriage only counts to them as long as someone else besides them acknowledges it...geez...


I take this whomever to be my wedded whomever as long as I can get money and benefits from other people for it....ok


This seems to be about cash more than anything.

All that can be covered by a written agreement or a will.........

.....if....

Is it actually, though?

Is the school in violation of some federal mandate if it imposes a formal dress code on a formal occasion?

A public school could force it's students to wear a uniform. So much less than a uniform is a dress code for an optional event.

WRONG. It's been tried in court, and the schools that have tried to ban gay students from prom have lost, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Nice try. ;)

You are right. They will make them have a prom. A good time will be had by all.

Pretty much the exact same outcome that would have happened if she had done what she wanted to begin with and not tried to rub it in their faces.

Its a dress code that does not affect education in this case so I am pretty sure the school will lose as they did the last few times.

Title 9 is about gender equity. NOT about dress codes. Dress codes in the normal school setting have been challenged in court and upheld. HOWEVER, it would have to be shown that the tuxedo was going to significantly disrupt a school function. I don't think a tuxedo would be considered disruptive of the learning environment in the same way that, for example, wearing gang attire does. I mean, 50% of the people there will be wearing tuxes.

The school doesn't have a legal leg to stand on, and they will lose this one.

Assuming this went to court BEFORE the prom, sure.

Yep. Of course, by doing this, the student is ensuring that other students in MIssissippi don't have to deal with it in the future. She's brave, just like the other students who have challenged these kinds of rules
 
She's an idiot.

Kinda like the women who sued fire & police departments for gender equity, eh?

;)

Those women made it possible for me to do MY job. You may resent them, but I sure as hell don't. I respect them.

It's never easy to be the first.

Gosh, y'all, it's a shame we can't just go back to the days when women knew their place: barefoot, in the kitchen, fixing you a sammich.

;)

A public school cannot force male and female students to wear different types of uniforms.

Unrelated random comments FTW?

There's no right being infringed by denying her special cross-dressing exceptions if she can't document transsexualism or GID.

These kinds of policies are discriminatory. The case law was established back in the 1990s in Rhode Island. Your posts demonstrate a significant degree of ignorance about these laws.

You can make these kinds of claims, but they are inaccurate.

CASE LAW & PRECEDENT, FTW.
 
Quite an extreme example.

And yet it happened, just recently in Florida.

Gay Woman Fights over Hospital Visitation Rights in Miami court | CommonDreams.org

They not only prevented this woman from saying goodbye to her partner in the hospital where she lay in a coma, but they prevented her children from seeing her as well; these were children who had been raised by both women, but since the dying woman was not their biological mother, they were considered by authorities to have no legal right to see her.

Especially since gender is a gentic trait.

I know its tempting to equate homosexuality to race and gender, two clearly genetic examples but it couldn't be more dishonest.
 
A public school cannot force male and female students to wear different types of uniforms.

In schools where uniforms are required, girls can not wear the boys uniform and boys can not wear the girls uniform.

The only exception to this I can think of is when the student can document transsexualism or GID.

If she's just a lesbian then she still has to dress as a woman.
